Interview
I took a coding assessment followed by 4 rounds of live interviews (culture and values, technical/live-coding, architecture and design, and top grading). I was asked to reflect on my holistic career and education experiences as part of the top grade interview.

Interview
Recruiter interview then ELEVEN more subsequent interviews with various developers and hiring managers. They seemed to alternate technical and panel cultural, but also architecture and leadership. Regardless, eleven is far too many interviews, even in this market.

Question 1
Normal data structures and algorithms interview questions, but for a mobile position that seemed unnecessary.
After a few screening calls with recruiter (Nick), I was matched with an engineer to do a technical round via screenshare. I didn't pass the tech interview, so not sure what the remainder of the process would be like, but my sense is that another series of behavioral style interviews would ensue.
